About 59c
59c is a semi-detached house in Bedford (MK42 9JR). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 77 m² this is the 32nd smallest of 50 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 23–221 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (December 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
